I live there too, we got some wind but had worse storms last winter.At 5pm here in San Diego, it's starting to hit hard with heavier rain, and wind speed has really increased.

It was really a tiny quake. That said, a friend who lives in a condo in Santa Monica say it was the strongest he has felt since the 1994 Northridge quake (which is one of the stronger ones I have felt, to).Apparently an Earthquake in Ventura has taken place at the same time Tropical Storm Hilary is heading to the LA area.
Guess you've never been through a winter storm in the Bay Area. That's when we get our rain to carry us through five or six dry months.Bottom line -- California does not get this volume of rain or these kind of storms.
Actually, I have. This Spring was an extremely severe one for Northern California. Sacramento has seen flooding in the past. The American River levees were close to being breeched. When I lived there, it never rained from June until October. My point was that Southern California doesn't see Tropical storms like this in August. Climate Change will be bringing more of this on everyone. This storm has caused some severe damage already...Guess you've never been through a winter storm in the Bay Area.

Yeah, in the urban San Diego area, the forecast of torrential rain and damaging wind didn't happen. The storm lost most of it's punch pretty quickly. Even the local news this morning showed the usual flooding we get with rain, and only one report of a fallen tree. Today, it's a normal day like any other.I live there too, we got some wind but had worse storms last winter.
No issue at all... and thanks for asking. We live in a gently sloping area of terrain, far from mountain runoff. Our home is about 18 inches above street level, so water ran off easily. Our only damage was an outside potted plant fell over in the wind.
